                       DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOTLINE

  Mr. WELLSTONE. Mr. President, if I could just say this. I announced 
last week that as a part of the Violence Against Women Act we now have 
a national domestic violence hotline. Senator Biden, of course, did so 
much work on this, as did many others. Every day I come out and show 
this. It is 1-800-799-SAFE; and the TTD number for the hearing-impaired 
is 1-800-787-3224.
  Mr. President, I spoke about this issue last week. But every day I 
want to announce this number for women and children and those who need 
to make this call. I thank the Chair.
